That is what I meant. I have the Aviation Products, Inc. tailwheel like you have on my Midget Mustang and that is a little lighter and better suited to the KR than the Matco is. The Matco is a little better for a heavier plane.
I have been planning on making a custom aluminum hub on my lathe for an inflatable wheel for the Matco one of these days.

I started with a Matco unit and it worked very well also. I switched it out to knock about 2 pounds off the tail. Given the choices in steerable / full swivel tailwheels available I doubt I'd even consider using a swivel only or direct steer only setup.
